Practical features suit downsizers who want independence with reassurance: lift access to all floors, wheelchair access, an emergency call system, and a walk-in wardrobe in the principal bedroom.

Buyers should be aware of the running costs and specific conditions. The annual service charge is high at £14,191.66 (covers staffing, heating and communal maintenance), and there is an annual ground rent of £510. Heating is electric underfloor, and broadband on-site is full fibre capable though reported speeds may be slow in practice. Purchase is restricted to buyers aged 70 and over.
